Creatures and Beasts
by Joo5h
Creatures and Beasts fills overworld biomes such as plains with new fantasy mobs, and it also adds mobs to the End and to swamp villages.
What it does
The mod adds a set of fantasy creatures to the world, including friendly animals, ghosts and golems. It also overhauls two vanilla mobs: the Creeper Overhaul part changes creepers, and the Enderman Overhaul part changes endermen. Frogs fill new swamp villages in the Ribbits part.
Creatures and Beasts is a Forge mod for 1.18.2 and 1.19.2 and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later. Geckolib must be installed alongside it. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The latest Forge file, 1.5.2 for 1.19.2, was published on 2023-03-05.

How it compares
Forgotten Beasts is a Forge mod for 1.19.2 that runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it; its license is All rights reserved. Gothic RPG is a Forge mod for 1.18.2 – 1.19.4 that both the server and players run, under All rights reserved. Elemental Beasts is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that both sides run, under All rights reserved, so it targets a later version than Creatures and Beasts.
